What is circumcision?
Circumcision involves the partial or complete removal of the foreskin to expose the glans penis. It may be performed for medical, functional, hygiene or aesthetic reasons.
In adult men, the most common indication is phimosis — a narrowing of the foreskin that makes it difficult to retract properly. It is a common condition that is routinely treated.
When should circumcision be considered?
- phimosis and difficulty retracting the foreskin,
- pain or tearing of the foreskin during sexual intercourse,
- recurrent inflammation of the foreskin or glans,
- difficulty maintaining intimate hygiene and recurrent infections,
- discomfort during an erection.
Which circumcision methods are available?
Surgical circumcision
The traditional method involves precise removal of the foreskin followed by suturing. It allows the final result to be carefully tailored. Price: PLN 2,700.
Stapler circumcision
A circumcision stapler removes the foreskin and applies staples at the same time, which may shorten the procedure in selected cases. Price: PLN 3,300.
CO2 laser circumcision
The CO2 laser enables a highly precise incision, reduced bleeding and limited damage to the surrounding tissue. Price: PLN 3,500.

Frequently Asked Questions – Circumcision (FAQ)
Is circumcision painful?
Circumcision is usually performed under local anesthesia, so patients should not feel pain during the procedure itself. After surgery, temporary discomfort, tenderness, or swelling may occur, but these symptoms are typically manageable with pain medication recommended by the doctor.
How long does recovery after circumcision take?
Most patients return to normal daily activities within a few days, although complete healing usually takes several weeks. Recovery time depends on the surgical technique used, the healing process, and individual patient factors.
Does circumcision affect sexual function?
After complete healing, most patients return to normal sexual activity. Circumcision should not negatively affect sexual function, and many patients report improved comfort, especially when circumcision was performed due to phimosis or recurrent inflammation.
Does circumcision affect penile sensitivity?
Removal of the foreskin may cause slight changes in sensitivity due to exposure of the glans. In most patients, these changes do not significantly affect sexual satisfaction or quality of sexual life.
Will there be scars after circumcision?
Like any surgical procedure, circumcision results in a scar. Its appearance depends on the surgical technique, the healing process, and the patient’s individual predisposition to scarring. The goal is always to achieve the best possible aesthetic result.
What are the possible risks and complications of circumcision?
As with any surgical procedure, circumcision carries some risk of complications, although most procedures heal without problems. Possible complications may include:
- bleeding,
- wound infection,
- swelling and pain,
- reaction to anesthesia,
- excessive scarring,
- rarely, delayed wound healing.
When can I return to physical activity and sexual intercourse?
Return to physical activity depends on the healing process and the surgical method used. Intense exercise and sexual activity are usually restricted for several weeks. Detailed recommendations are provided individually after the procedure.
Is circumcision performed only for medical reasons?
No. Circumcision may be performed for medical reasons such as phimosis or recurrent inflammation, but also for hygienic, aesthetic, religious, cultural, or personal reasons.
